america was rocked by unprecedented terror. nearly three thousand innocent lives were lost in a post nine eleven world was born. our war on terror. begins with al qaida. but it does not in there. it will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found stopped and defeated washington's military reach began with the hunt for osama bin ladin america strikes back afghanistan is home to put bombs and missiles from the air in the sea then a preemptive pounding into iraq. in the decade that followed america's fight for freedom has been stated by torture secret detention and rendition human rights violations symbolized by landmarks like one tom obey grave and the bob graham

airbase prison we had garnered the empathy not only of the world but the muslim world and if we had the courage to be vulnerable. we would be far safer and more secure than we are today instead we drank from that very dark licks or of nationalism journalist in office chris hedges says america's terror unleashed throughout the middle east has opened a pandora's box of evil and sorrow over a million. iraqi dead since the invasion. you know hundreds and hundreds of civilians killed in pakistan thousands killed in afghanistan not to mention millions of people displaced into refugee camps i mean the terror that we have unleashed will not go on paid it is and it will strike us eventually however in a post nine eleven america citizens have been forced to compromise their freedom in

the name of security the past decade has paved the way for a new state practices such as warrantless wiretapping intrusive airport screening and greater authority for law enforcement what some call a police state in the making as this national security state grows as it becomes easier for the government to scrutinize big knives that's in all aspects of our lives i think americans are going deeply deeply worried about this the issue. is larger than just that specific isolated orders even though you hear that is all around us much of it may be right here at home from people in our own country. since nine eleven a rising tide of islamophobia has passed through this formerly tolerant nation according to the f.b.i. the four men intended to carry out their plan today dozens of muslim americans have

been arrested and convicted in so-called f.b.i. for oil terror plots plots that were orchestrated and manufactured by government paid informants these cases have been created by the government and yet we're supposed to feel safer because criminals that would not have come up with a plot had not been brought to them on a platter by the u.s. government are now in jail and we have you know snowball the violence that's going on around the world only raise more hatred only breeds more bad feelings only reinforced many now. it is their violent narratives of american imperialism around the world and we i think we've created more enemies than friends you know if we targeted communities rather than making them partners not only has it not made us any safer i think that it has undermined you know the very fabric of american society the fabric of a post nine eleven america the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden the leader of al qaeda still waging war in the name of freedom

america again terror began at the arsenal right but in the years that followed the military are saying no. peter. around the world the man behind nine eleven may have been captured but international safety and yet delivered in a fortnight artsy. let's cross live to brussels now to talk one of the somber anniversary with a lot of van or so international consultant and former belcher the m.p. it survived also ok so it's been ten years and there's been a huge wars it's been a very expensive a lot of lives lost but even now there is new information about the the plaid car bomb attacks in new york or washington so do you think the a war on terror could ever be won. well you can't really answer that question did without asking yourself what is just a war on terror the war on the phenomenon i mean the thing is about first of all

what in the mission of a failure for the security and intelligence agency to have to admit well the well is not safe yet in fact there might be he more attacks today the war on terror you should not forget it's actually a war everyone in the world tradition agrees with the economic and military policies of the united states whether they react violently or in already they can democratically against us. the u.s. operation the number one terrorist as they would say a some a bit a lot of he's now dead ganesan in iraq are now towards the path of democracy so do you think the goals set out after nine eleven have actually been achieved first of all i disagree that after afghanistan and iraq on above the worst cannot proceed on the contrary they are going to get is some kind of control fake democracy

completely controlled by the us so much that you're not surprised actually after all the real bosses there we have to also say what are the real goals or what are the goals proclaimed in the media and such well the official goals of course have not been achieved whether the real goal of economic dominance over the middle east and other region or achieve that even a failure may mean the whole region is more unstable than it ever was before so no knotting so far has been achieved in really where you are talking about the region still being unstable do you think it's too early for u.s. troops then to withdraw from the. she is your questions to presuppose as you please it's up to the u.s. not to the west to decide whether we should there be to make sure things are in order let's not forget the us has no place you know scoundrel the west has no place in those countries it's up to the people of those countries themselves to decide what their fate will be sure the dignity question itself i cannot say is it only

for them to go they should have been there in the first place ok i don't want to talk about a post nine eleven surveillance i mean it's been a stepped up in and out a lot of the personal data of millions of passengers credit card details basically a lot of information about us are now are stored by us on a security effort and these are these are basically in response to the atrocities timers ago do you think that nine eleven is being used by some departments basically for their games but that's absolutely true and that's not a not something a year this is the problems or whatever people in power you will use crisis to gain more power and especially now after an event a horrible event like nine eleven that's what they did we should not forget that all the new laws that gave these departments their new powers are already ready to be applied to be

a vote in the congress before nine eleven it just stand there with me for the right opportunity the whole concept of well known security was already in paper before nine eleven let's not forget that i mean nine eleven was horrible no let's not. but there will always be people in power who will wait for these crisis to abuse them for their own games ok i just want to one last question is very briefly i mean there are some who who think that because of this quote unquote war on terror the u.s. has now has more enemies ten years on do you agree with that and if so absolutely. well absolutely in fact even before. the government decided after nine eleven to go to afghanistan now only intelligence already predicted this it would make it to probably counter terrorism by all these organizations. and in fact that is what they knew but then it wasn't really the goal to make it secure.

the real goals for different ok well thanks very much for your thoughts there a little bit behind all center national consultant. live from brussels. right well your opinion is important to us of course you can log on to our website and participate in our latest poll today the question we're asking is what does nine eleven mean for you that ten years on and so far the most popular response is a convenient pretext to invade afghanistan and iraq the answer a conspiracy to rob americans of their freedoms comes a close second as all of you say it means a tragedy the nation must learn to let go and the enemy attack the u.s. will never allowed to happen again while you can contribute your ideas your thoughts your school to our. all the also ask the people of the new york what kind of impact the tragedy had on their lives. so things are

not predictable you don't know what what's going to happen next i don't know you kind of more aware of a threat just more on the lookout people should. think of a way of reaching older people accepting that people can be different in about ten minutes so we could watch what people on the streets of the big apple have to say about nine eleven and ten years after the terrorist attack rocked the city. to terrorist attacks and became synonymous. to repeat lists. if you. look back at nine eleven. egypt is on high alert after a night of riots in cairo left at least three people dead and over

a thousand injured a demonstration for reform in the country quickly turned violent as protesters vented their anger against the israeli embassy a mob of tore down a wall shooting the high rise building parts of the embassy which was virtually unstaffed at the time after hours without intervention of riot police used tear gas to disperse the protesters who responded by throwing powerful bombs now the israeli diplomats and their families have been afloat home by stella did condemn the attack let's go live to cairo now to get some perspective on this a from egyptian president. thanks very much for joining us in the program well the incident does come less than a month after israeli forces killed five egyptian policemen in a border clash do you think this is a reason for the add to israeli settlement car or do you think there's more to it. this is one of the one of the uses the first one. had been. and the talk lately the sponsors of the egyptian government didn't respond positively to their

demands even very modest the european government also was very lenient with this really is so of the people was very few of us about that issue of the president and that it will do the egyptian government this is why. some of the egyptians are now encouraged by the government. the embassy the one who had. taken the flag of israel from the building had been a lot of the by giving him an apartment and saw that he gave dignity and to be also a nationalist you have to have the embassy and then of the d. we noted that the forces to go to forces. were in fact giving way to the people to go to the embassy last night here so i think this was a see here say that the people actually rather upset with the egyptian the former

egyptian government their reaction or their attitude towards israel and this is their way of expressing it but if the military interim government right now has promised to uphold the nine hundred seventy nine a peace a deal with israel haven't they but at the same time also opening the border with gaza how do you think this relationship is going to unfold. think that relations with you can consider relations and to live in the level between the military council and there's a. fact there is no tension about the level of popular that they think they are very few of us about there's a real challenge so this is why you think the relations in general would be deteriorating but anyhow i think the egyptian people that evolution of the state of egypt had been in fact injured by various attacks not only because some of the egyptians had been attacking the embassy by the category of the government but

because this was a trap for them by the government and by israel to make some hurt to the egyptian population and with a lot of illusion as well because the seem to be of some the mob's the revolution which should be very much. in the very highest standby medic and the best present now it is that something like mobs righteous one couldn't talk about how easily i could possibly respond to this i'm in tel aviv or has already had a falling out with turkey and egypt is only one of two arab countries to have a peace treaty with it how do you think tell of a vis likely to respond to the attack on its embassy is it going to become something bigger than this. i don't know exactly but they think they're there to see you so there's a real now are cooking something for egypt and turkey saw is a part of a parking lot or something like here a factor in the situation because the center you can buy up again also encourages

the pollution to government and to be encouraged to our embassy so i don't know exactly for the moment to opt out of the measures that should be taken going to egypt but you know how egypt has. been on the offensive now it is on the defensive and this is what i read for them ok i also want to ask you ok the u.s. was quick to embrace the toppling author mubarak it was considered an expression of the egyptian people's will and now the people are venting anger at israel but this this is a washington's ally of course a do you think washington is likely to accept the egyptian people's action now as afraid as freedom of expression considering they are protesting against israel. knowing when it comes to everything is changing. except that if it was going to iran for example but i guess this is very much very dangerous. sorry

can you elaborate on that you think you see it's changing. if you have a double service and here you have should. you have brought this to your own for example the out of the embassy it would be. closer. to the spirit of the. gibsons this is a very bad. cable thanks very much for your thoughts there live from cairo egyptian presidential candidate abdullah thank you. carol let's take a look at some other news dominating the headlines around the world at least one hundred sixty three people have died and over one hundred more are thought to be missing after ship sank off mainland tanzania with already say the ferry carrying more than five hundred passengers capsized after leaving port heavily overloaded rescuers are struggling to search for survivors in tough conditions and i've requested foreign help from kenya and south africa. libyan rebels are continuing

their fight to enter but he will leave one of four remaining colonel gadhafi strongholds the towns held by loyalists have been given until saturday to surrender to the new libyan leadership as the rebels continue the search for the fugitive leader who griddle gadhafi is already of messages claim he's still in libya despite reports of his family and some associates crossing the border into niger. japan's new prime minister is facing increasing pressure to sack one of his ministers over gaffs made about radiation and it hit. it comes after the trade minister provoked anger what he called the area around the nuclear power plant a quote town of death your show your cheetos and later apologized and said he wants to stay in his position well the new prime minister has only been in power for a week and replacing the previous and convent who stepped down following criticism of his handling of the triple quake tsunami and nuclear disasters. fidel castro

has appeared on. ben israel on state television to dispel rumors of his death the former cuban president recorded an audi of message joking that this was not the first time such reports and spread the eighty five year old has not been seen in public since the communist party summit in april he stepped down in july two thousand six hundred power to his brother raul castro ruled cuba for nearly half a century becoming a revolutionary i call it. all returning to our coverage of the tenth anniversary of nine eleven the event was the worst act of terrorism on american soil and that sparked the ignited the war against al qaeda but despite the killing of osama bin laden the scars on the big apple remain as low. as she spoke to people in new york . a decade after the horrible man eleven terrorist attacks on the u.s. how is the world change this week let's talk about that there were this i won't say

more dangerous but it's more like our tick saw things are predictable you don't know what what's going to happen next life is much intense i think so no. every day can can be the last and you think people around the world feel this way. i think in europe in america i think so i don't know you kind of more aware of a threat just more on the lookout do you think that people around the world still keep that vigilant ten years later probably not as much as we did five years ago do you think that the amount of lives lost in the name of the war on terror has been worth feeling safer i think it's a difficult thing to comment on to be honest i have a lot of friends that have fought over there and i would say it's hard every time they leave i'm not for war so no i don't think war is to make us feel safer if everyone lives his own business i think everything would be better if we had been

here in new york last week. several places right now. places we find this a lot of security so we understand all that is because he wasn't before but something we have to. live with. so we might be safer but we have to give up some things for that well i don't think it will be safe we try to pick a safer we pretend to be as they appear to be safer that's right i mean during the spirit if somebody wants to do something it will do it so is there anything that anyone can do or is that just what's going to happen it's going to happen i don't know people should. try to change bird. or we'll think of a way of proving that are people like accepting that people can be different and not just my way is the right way i'm leadscrew everybody this is not right no matter what you think it's changed the bottom line is we can only hope the world

continues just strive to be a safer place. up soon our moscow out team take a stroll around the more cozy neighborhoods and parks of the russian capital but before that i'll be back with a recap of our top stories and we'll be back. with
